  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message DO784 - Activation of &1 &2 repeated due to naming conflict ?

    The SAP error message DO784, which states "Activation of &1 &2 repeated due to naming conflict," typically occurs during the activation of objects in the SAP system, such as transport requests, programs, or other development objects. This error indicates that there is a naming conflict with the object you are trying to activate, meaning that there is already an object with the same name in the system.

    Cause:

    1. Naming Conflict: The most common cause is that there is already an object (like a function module, class, or program) with the same name in the same namespace or package.
    2. Transport Conflicts: If multiple transports are being imported that contain objects with the same name, this can lead to conflicts.
    3. Development Objects: If two developers are working on the same object or if an object was created in two different development environments and both are being transported to the same target environment.

    Solution:

    1. Check for Existing Objects: Use transaction SE80 or SE11 to search for existing objects with the same name. If you find a conflicting object, you may need to rename your object or delete the conflicting one if it is no longer needed.
    2. Rename the Object: If the object you are trying to activate is not yet in use, consider renaming it to avoid the conflict.
    3. Transport Management: If the issue arises from transport requests, ensure that the transport requests are sequenced correctly and that there are no overlapping objects being transported.
    4. Check Transport Logs: Review the transport logs to identify any conflicts and resolve them accordingly.
    5. Re-activate the Object: After resolving the naming conflict, try to activate the object again.

    Related Information:

    • Transaction Codes: Use SE80 (Object Navigator), SE11 (Data Dictionary), or SE37 (Function Module) to investigate existing objects.
    • Transport Organizer: Use transaction SE09 or SE10 to manage transport requests and check for conflicts.
    • Naming Conventions: Ensure that your development team follows proper naming conventions to minimize conflicts in the future.
    • SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any specific patches or updates related to this error message, as there may be known issues or fixes provided by SAP.
